Jassy has used the "builders" term for years while leading AWS. It was a central theme in many of his keynote speeches. I think it was chosen specifically because it was not an industry-standardized (and watered-down) term.

https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/ among many other AWS docs that use the builders language.

That language predates Jassy, it was there back around 2012 at least.

Andy Jassy's been at Amazon since 1997 and headed AWS from its inception.

Predates Jassy? He has literally worked at Amazon for decades and most of that on Amazon Web Services.
